First of all I know the catch and release derby is coming to a close.
I want to say thank you to all that donated and fished in the derby.
It really means alot to me to help raise money for our troops.
With that being said , as some of you know I will be running the run to home base 9k at fenway.
The day of the race there are some activities and I am officially inviting anyone that would like to go.
As the title states it is May 22nd.
Im pretty sure the opening ceremonies are at 7:15 AM but Fenway is open until noon.
I dont know all the details but here is a cut and paste of the email I received...
